Upgrade Your Kitchen with Instant Pot

Making bone broth in a pot or slow cooker and ready for a serious upgrade? Instant Pot! I’ve been making batches of bone broth, ready in 1 hour and the bones are totally broken down! It’s like a slow cooker on CRACK!

Last month, one of my girlfriends was overjoyed about a kitchen appliance; the Instant Pot, that made bone broth in under an hour, completely disintegrating the bones, producing the richest bone broth in the whole wide world.

“No way that’s actually a thing”, I challenged her.

Sparked my interest, though. Not only because I drink a lot of bone broth (read: multiple cups daily), but she claimed that this Instant Pot machine acted as a 7 in 1 appliance: a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, saute/browning, yogurt maker, steamer and warmer.

It basically does everything I do to food on its very own. No effort needed.

The reviews for Instant Pot IP-DUO60 (the model that I ended up getting, and loving) are unreal. I lightly mentioned the machine to our community and you were all very vocal about your love for the coveted Instant Pot. From cooking pork chops in 20 minutes, rice in a couple of minutes, steamed vegetables in seconds, making dairy-free yogurt, warming leftovers and sauteing meals from start to finish. Most of all, you were all very pleased with how much safer it was then a slow cooker.

The thing about my slow cooker: I don’t trust it. I have a hard time leaving it on while we’re sleeping or away from the house. It makes me uneasy. With my Instant Pot, I don’t have to worry about this because meals are ready so quickly. Instead of a meal taking upwards of 8 hours in the slow cooker, an Instant Pot meal is ready in an hour.

Your love for the Instant Pot encouraged me to reach out to the company to see if they would put together something for you. You know, because maybe you’ve wanted one but were waiting for a sign to make it a done deal? This is that sign. Heck, even if you weren’t waiting for a sign; if you had no idea what an Instant Pot was until you read my post today, it’s worth looking into and seeing if it’s something you’d benefit from.

For those that like a “breakdown” of the benefits, here are some that I’ve noticed with my Instant Pot IP-DUO60…

Generates almost no noise and leaks no steam. It traps all the aromas in the food without smelling up the kitchen.

Read: You can make EVERYTHING in this thing. Whole meats!
… and no stinky bone broth air in your house!

Look, the marrow is completely gone from these ox tail bones, below.

After weeks of playing with the machine; seeing what all it could do, I figured I’d start off with the simplest of the simple. Bone broth.

Two Ways To Make Bone Broth

Instead of re-inventing the wheel, I’m going to send you to a woman who knows her bone broth better than most: Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo. I met Michelle at Expo West last week, she’s a real gem. Everything I know about bone broth, I’ve learned from her.

Instead of drinking bone broth? Sure, you could do that, but it depends on why you’re wanting bone broth in the first place. If you just want bone broth for the collagen, you could totally just use a collagen powder instead. If you want bone broth for the electrolytes, warmth, and feel good vibes, you’ll want to make your own or purchase some from the store (Kettle & Fire is my go-to storebought bone broth).

I have your recent book and I’m making the bone broth recipe in the Instant Pot. In the book it says to pressure cook for 4 hrs, but above it notes 1 hour (same as other recipes). Is the 4 hrs a misprint? The Instant Pot won’t cook for more than 2hrs at high pressure.
Just made another batch mayo using your recipe as well. We love it!
Thanks

I just ordered the 6 qt, and the discount code still works! Like you, I am nervous about running the slow-cooker unattended. Time seems to be something I am always needing a little more of, so I am looking forward to giving this a try! Thanks Leanne!

I recently started eating keto through a competition at my gym. It involved a strict meal plan which included lots of eggs, bacon, cheese, heavy cream, fat bombs, etc. (and an exogenous ketone supplement… yuck.) I quickly realized this was just not the plan for me because the hunger was real, my body’s response to dairy was real and my fat loss results plateaued. After a lot of online research, I found Leanne’s YouTube videos and devoured dozens. I subscribed to the 3-month meal plan and bought The Keto Diet book. After 1 week of the meal plan, I have broken through the plateau and lost 4lbs and 2% body fat. Even though that’s great, the best thing is the yummy food, no dairy in my life anymore, and I feel full and do not want to eat my arm off at the end of the day. Now all my gym friends who are in the challenge are curious about what and I was able to convince several others to buy your book. You have majorly impressed me and I believe what you’re doing is more than clinical and not a one-size-fits-all canned plan. I look forward to making this journey my way of life and engaging with your plan every step of the way!

I just wanted to thank you for all the important information and inspiration you share with the world! I love your podcast and of course the keto diet book! You make such a difference sharing your story! In my own life, I have utilized keto to take control of my eating habits. Your bravery and honesty in sharing your story has helped me feel supported! Just wanted to let you know the positivity your work has created! Thanks again!

 Shelby

I thank GOD I found your podcast after unsuccessfully trying to do keto for months, the internet is a confusing and conflicting place. I got The Keto Diet, my keto handbook, and I look forward to each and every podcast. I too come from a history of eating disorder (in my 30s, I’m now my healthiest and about to turn 50) so I love your fair, impartial, balanced approach and the fact that you speak openly about triggers! Love you!

When I was raw vegan, my gut played up severely and I was never full. My moods were erratic, and when I added cooked carbs and beans, my colitis flare-ups were pretty much a daily occurrence. After years of estrogen dominance and PCOS, I’m so pleased with keto now. In addition to that, I got the best news today– I got my period. (It stopped months ago.) You have given me the courage to let my body balance and heal. I stopped the progesterone and testosterone treatments and started keto, and things are starting to happen. I’m only a few weeks in and I feel like this is the missing piece of the puzzle.

 Janita

I have been an endurance athlete for 12 years now, a vegan for 3.5 years, and am now starting my Fat Fueled journey. I have found your recipes immensely helpful as I train for Ironman distance triathlons. I don’t have to eat as much during the workout, and I avoid the horrible gut-bombs and sugar fermentation bloat that so many athletes suffer from. I consider your recipes vital to optimal performance and stalk your website regularly to see what new brilliance shows up!

 Amanda

I am a 64-year-old, overweight, prediabetic, worn out, stressed out, etc. woman who just discovered Leanne on YouTube. After two weeks on Leanne’s version of ketoI can relax, be balanced, have fun, and best of all stick to this way of eating that is going to change my life.

 Martha

I just purchased your book The Keto Diet. I am super excited to dig into the Keto lifestyle. After trying low-carb, low-fat dieting and Weight Watchers, I am confident that Keto is the answer. I appreciate your videos and content!

 Lizzette

Just want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate the way you speak and write about health and life! I’m relatively new to keto but have been Paleo-esque for awhile. I came across your name after seeing your books on some Paleo sites and hearing your interviews on other keto and health podcasts. I now look forward to every one of your own podcast episodes and blog and Instagram postings. Thanks for keeping things health oriented with a practical and nourishing approach for women! I love learning from you!

 Sarah

I have had issues with my menstrual cycle and being on oral contraceptives. I saw my physician and she is supportive of my whole food keto lifestyle and is supportive of me going off hormones for birth control. I want to thank you for being so open about your experiences and inspiring me to find my path. I think I’m on the right path now to find what works to be my best self.

 Amanda

Leanne Vogel’s approach to Keto and overall health is exactly what I’ve been searching for. I’d tried a strict approach to Keto for tweaking body composition after having been Paleo for a few years, but it didn’t work for me. Having had food sensitivities forever, new digestive issues began to emerge due to hormonal changes, so I began carb-ups with success! I’m once again golden in the gym, my hair is staying on my head instead of circling the drain and I’m on my way to regaining control of my digestive health. There’s a ton of information out there, but Leanne’s attention to how WOMEN respond to a Ketogenic lifestyle is not only refreshing, but life-changing.

Thank you, Leanne. I’m following you from Switzerland! I just cured fibromyalgia with your Fat Fueled version of the ketogenic diet in only 1 month (and lost 4kg) after several years of suffering, medications and expensive exams. Thank you for your videos!

 Anna

After reading Fat Fueled, I’ve found that Leanne is a ball of badassness covered in keto chocolate scrumptiousness and topped with a piece of bacon…and she’s smart!

 Jasmine

I love that you have offered a way to “keto” without all the counting! I think it’s helpful to learn how to and why to count macros, but I also know it isn’t for everyone, and not completely necessary….so it’s been great for me to have someone lead in that direction! Thank you!

 Kristen

I found your podcast just before I decided to try Keto. I was on my way home from a weekend in Boston and was driving back to NJ (February 2017) I listed to your podcast the entire ride and not only did I learn so much about Keto but I was fully inspired. I continue to eat Keto and listen to every podcast every week; it continues to inspire and teach me. I have lost 17 pounds and truly upped my game when in comes to my work outs — keto (and Leanne) have changed my life.

 Amy Jo

After 8 months, I am 80 lbs lighter. My chronic pain has completely disappeared and I haven’t even taken a single ibuprofen since June. I don’t track any macros. And… WE GOT PREGNANT! After ten years of infertility and two losses. Ladies, if you are trying to fix your hormones this really works! Listen to your body and run experiments on yourself to see what it responds to. Whenever I began to stall in my loss, I tried something new and I had fabulous results. I’m still considered overweight, but I have never felt as good as I do right now.
